Zieta Studio Tafla polished stainless-steel mirror
The eponymous studio of artist Oskar Zięta morphs metal and glass into home decor designs that straddle the line between sculptural and functional. One of the studio’s cleverest is the Tafla mirror collection: irregular shapes created by inflating two-dimensional metal sheets with pressurized air. The wonderfully wonky stainless-steel mirrors protrude from the wall like shiny mylar balloons.

B&B Italia Le Bambole sofa
The 87-year-old Italian architect and designer Mario Bellini wooed a younger generation with his decades-old Camaleonda sofa, which even Vogue deemed as "having a moment" in 2021. Now, another one of Bellini’s vintage creations—the Le Bambole line—is officially back in production. The charming curves and elegant silhouettes of the revamped range look as contemporary and fashionable as they did in the 1970s.
